Description

本明細書によって開示される技術は、過電流検出装置および蓄電装置に関する。 The techniques disclosed herein relate to overcurrent detectors and power storage devices.

例えば、電流検出手段を有する電源制御システムとして、特開２０１６−２０１７８号公報（下記特許文献１）に記載のものが知られている。
電流検出手段は、電力線に直列接続されるセンス抵抗と、センス抵抗の両端に接続された一対の配線と、一対の配線の端末に設けられたコンパレータを介して接続されるＣＰＵとを備えて構成されている。センス抵抗の両端電圧が一対の配線を通じてコンパレータに入力され、コンパレータから信号がＣＰＵに入力されることで、電力線における電流を検出することができるようになっている。 For example, as a power supply control system having a current detecting means, the one described in JP-A-2016-20178 (Patent Document 1 below) is known.
The current detecting means includes a sense resistor connected in series with a power line, a pair of wires connected to both ends of the sense resistor, and a CPU connected via a comparator provided at a terminal of the pair of wires. Has been done. The voltage across the sense resistor is input to the comparator through a pair of wires, and the signal is input to the CPU from the comparator so that the current in the power line can be detected.

特開２０１６−２０１７８号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-20178

ところで、このような電流検出手段の場合、一対の配線のうち、いずれか一方の配線に接続不良が生じると、コンパレータの入力側がほとんどオープンに近いハイインピーダンス状態となる。そして、配線が大きなノイズを受けたときには、コンパレータの入力側の電圧差が大きくなってしまうことで、ＣＰＵが過電流であると誤検出してしまう。したがって、例えば、電流遮断装置などが設置されている場合には、電流遮断装置において電流を遮断してしまい、電力を供給することができなくなってしまう。 By the way, in the case of such a current detecting means, if a connection failure occurs in one of the pair of wirings, the input side of the comparator becomes a high impedance state that is almost open. Then, when the wiring receives a large amount of noise, the voltage difference on the input side of the comparator becomes large, so that the CPU erroneously detects that the current is overcurrent. Therefore, for example, when a current cutoff device or the like is installed, the current cutoff device cuts off the current, and it becomes impossible to supply electric power.

A current detection circuit that detects a potential difference between the pair of connection portions, a pair of voltage detection lines that connect both ends of the current detection resistor and the pair of connection portions in the current detection circuit, and the above. The configuration is provided with an erroneous detection prevention unit that suppresses an increase in the potential difference between the pair of connection portions when at least one of the pair of voltage detection lines fails in connection.

本明細書によって開示される技術によれば、ノイズ等に起因して一対の接続部間の電位差が異常に大きくなることを防ぐことができ、電流検出回路が過電流であると誤検出することを防ぐことができる。 According to the technique disclosed in the present specification, it is possible to prevent the potential difference between the pair of connecting portions from becoming abnormally large due to noise or the like, and the current detection circuit erroneously detects that the current is overcurrent. Can be prevented.

As shown in FIG. 4, the power storage device 10 includes an assembled battery 20, a battery management device (hereinafter referred to as “BMU”) 30, a current detection resistor 50, and a current cutoff device 51.

組電池２０と、電流検出抵抗５０と、電流遮断装置５１とは、通電路Ｌを介して直列に接続されており、組電池２０の正極側が電流遮断装置５１を介して正極側端子部１２Ｐに接続され、負極側が電流検出抵抗５０を介して負極側端子部１２Ｎに接続されている。 The assembled battery 20, the current detection resistor 50, and the current cutoff device 51 are connected in series via the current-carrying path L, and the positive electrode side of the assembled battery 20 is connected to the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P via the current cutoff device 51. It is connected, and the negative electrode side is connected to the negative electrode side terminal portion 12N via the current detection resistor 50.

電流検出抵抗５０は、通電路Ｌの電流を検出する、いわゆるセンス抵抗器であって、例えば、数十ｍΩ〜数百ｍΩの低抵抗器とされている。電流検出抵抗５０は、電流検出抵抗５０の両端に接続された一対の電圧検出線ＶＬを介してＢＭＵ３０と接続されている。 The current detection resistor 50 is a so-called sense resistor that detects the current in the current path L, and is, for example, a low resistor of several tens of mΩ to several hundreds of mΩ. The current detection resistor 50 is connected to the BMU 30 via a pair of voltage detection lines VL connected to both ends of the current detection resistor 50.

電流遮断装置５１は、例えばＮチャネルのＦＥＴなどの半導体スイッチやリレーからなり、電流遮断装置５１は、ＢＭＵ３０からの駆動指令に応答して作動し、組電池２０と正極側端子部１２Ｐとの間の通電を遮断する。 The current cutoff device 51 is composed of a semiconductor switch or a relay such as an N-channel FET, and the current cutoff device 51 operates in response to a drive command from the BMU 30 to be between the assembled battery 20 and the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P. Shut off the energization of.

ＢＭＵ３０は、電圧検出回路３１と、中央処理装置であるＣＰＵ３３と、メモリ３４と、電流検出回路３５とを備えて構成されており、これらは、制御基板１８上に搭載されている。また、ＢＭＵ３０は、電力ラインＬ２を介して通電路Ｌに接続されることで組電池２０から電力の供給を受けている。なお、電池管理装置３０における電流検出回路３５と電流検出抵抗５０とを組み合わせた構成が過電流検出装置に相当する。 The BMU 30 includes a voltage detection circuit 31, a CPU 33 which is a central processing unit, a memory 34, and a current detection circuit 35, and these are mounted on the control board 18. Further, the BMU 30 receives power from the assembled battery 20 by being connected to the energization path L via the power line L2. The configuration in which the current detection circuit 35 and the current detection resistor 50 in the battery management device 30 are combined corresponds to the overcurrent detection device.

電圧検出回路３１は、複数（本実施形態では５本）のセル電圧検出ラインＬ１を介して、各蓄電素子２１の両端にそれぞれ接続されており、各蓄電素子２１のセル電圧及び組電池２０の電池電圧（複数の蓄電素子２１の総電圧）をＣＰＵ３３に対して出力する。 The voltage detection circuits 31 are connected to both ends of each power storage element 21 via a plurality of cell voltage detection lines L1 (five in this embodiment), and the cell voltage of each power storage element 21 and the battery 20 are connected to each other. The battery voltage (total voltage of the plurality of power storage elements 21) is output to the CPU 33.

メモリ３４は、例えばフラッシュメモリやＥＥＰＲＯＭ等の不揮発性メモリとされている。メモリ３４には、各蓄電素子２１または組電池２０を管理する各種プログラム、各種プログラムの実行に必要なデータ、例えば、組電池２０の過電流検出閾値などが記憶されている。 The memory 34 is a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory or an EEPROM. The memory 34 stores various programs for managing each power storage element 21 or the assembled battery 20, data necessary for executing the various programs, for example, an overcurrent detection threshold value of the assembled battery 20 and the like.

電流検出回路３５は、電流検出抵抗５０の両端から延びる一対の電圧検出線ＶＬが接続された一対の接続部３６を有している。電流検出回路３５は、電流検出抵抗５０の両端間の電位差が一対の電圧検出線ＶＬを通じて一対の接続部３６に入力されることで、一対の接続部３６間の電位差から電流検出抵抗５０のセンス電圧を検出する。 The current detection circuit 35 has a pair of connecting portions 36 to which a pair of voltage detection lines VL extending from both ends of the current detection resistor 50 are connected. The current detection circuit 35 senses the current detection resistor 50 from the potential difference between the pair of connection portions 36 by inputting the potential difference between both ends of the current detection resistor 50 to the pair of connection portions 36 through the pair of voltage detection lines VL. Detect voltage.

言い換えると、一対の電圧検出線ＶＬは、電流検出抵抗５０の両端と制御基板１８における電流検出回路３５の一対の接続部３６とをそれぞれ繋ぐように接続されており、電流検出抵抗５０の両端間の電位差を電流検出回路３５の一対の接続部３６に入力する。これにより、電流検出回路３５は、電流検出抵抗５０のセンス電圧を検出することができるようになっている。 In other words, the pair of voltage detection lines VL are connected so as to connect both ends of the current detection resistor 50 and the pair of connection portions 36 of the current detection circuit 35 on the control board 18, respectively, and are connected between both ends of the current detection resistor 50. The potential difference of is input to the pair of connection portions 36 of the current detection circuit 35. As a result, the current detection circuit 35 can detect the sense voltage of the current detection resistor 50.

そして、電流検出回路３５は、検出されたセンス電圧と電流検出抵抗５０の抵抗値とに基づいて、通電路Ｌに流れる電流を求め、求めた電流を組電池２０の電流としてＣＰＵ３３に出力する。 Then, the current detection circuit 35 obtains the current flowing through the energization path L based on the detected sense voltage and the resistance value of the current detection resistance 50, and outputs the obtained current to the CPU 33 as the current of the assembled battery 20.

ＣＰＵ３３は、受信した各種の信号と、メモリ３４から読み出したプログラムとに基づいて、各部の監視および制御を行う。
具体的には、電圧検出回路３１および電流検出回路３５からの出力が入力されることで、常時あるいは定期的に、蓄電素子２１および組電池２０の電圧や組電池２０の電流を監視している。 The CPU 33 monitors and controls each unit based on various received signals and a program read from the memory 34.
Specifically, by inputting the outputs from the voltage detection circuit 31 and the current detection circuit 35, the voltage of the power storage element 21 and the assembled battery 20 and the current of the assembled battery 20 are monitored at all times or periodically. ..

そして、ＣＰＵ３３は、蓄電素子２１および組電池２０の電圧に異常を検出した場合には、蓄電素子２１もしくは組電池２０に不具合が生じる恐れがあるとして、電流遮断装置５１を作動させて組電池２０と正極側端子部１２Ｐとの間の通電を遮断する。また、ＣＰＵ３３は、組電池２０の電流がメモリ３４に記憶された過電流検出閾値以上であると検出した場合には、組電池２０が過電流状態になる恐れがあるとして、電流遮断装置５１を作動させて組電池２０と正極側端子部１２Ｐとの間の通電を遮断する。これにより、ＣＰＵ３３は、蓄電素子２１や組電池２０に不具合が生じることを防いでいる。 Then, when the CPU 33 detects an abnormality in the voltages of the power storage element 21 and the assembled battery 20, the CPU 33 operates the current cutoff device 51 and operates the assembled battery 20 because the power storage element 21 or the assembled battery 20 may have a problem. The energization between the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P and the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P is cut off. Further, when the CPU 33 detects that the current of the assembled battery 20 is equal to or higher than the overcurrent detection threshold stored in the memory 34, the CPU 33 considers that the assembled battery 20 may be in an overcurrent state, and sets the current cutoff device 51. It is operated to cut off the energization between the assembled battery 20 and the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P. As a result, the CPU 33 prevents the power storage element 21 and the assembled battery 20 from having a problem.

さて、電流検出回路３５における一対の接続部３６間には、図４に示すように、誤検出防止部３７が接続されている。
誤検出防止部３７は、電流検出抵抗５０と比較して無視できる程に高抵抗となるような非常に高抵抗な抵抗器であって、例えば、電流検出抵抗５０の千倍から百万倍程度となる数十Ω〜数百ｋΩの高抵抗な抵抗器とされている。 As shown in FIG. 4, an erroneous detection prevention unit 37 is connected between the pair of connection units 36 in the current detection circuit 35.
The false detection prevention unit 37 is a resistor having a very high resistance that is negligibly high as compared with the current detection resistance 50, and is, for example, about 1,000 to one million times the current detection resistance 50. It is said to be a high resistance resistor of several tens of Ω to several hundreds of kΩ.

本実施形態は、以上のような構成であって、続いて、蓄電装置１０の作用および効果について説明する。
蓄電装置１０は、電流検出抵抗５０の両端と電流検出回路３５の一対の接続部３６とが一対の電圧検出線ＶＬによって接続されているものの、例えば、車両Ｍの振動など何らかの原因により、一対の電圧検出線ＶＬのうち、いずれか一方の電圧検出線ＶＬに接続不良が生じると、接続不良が生じた電圧検出線ＶＬがハイインピーダンス状態となる。 This embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and subsequently, the operation and effect of the power storage device 10 will be described.
In the power storage device 10, both ends of the current detection resistor 50 and a pair of connection portions 36 of the current detection circuit 35 are connected by a pair of voltage detection lines VL, but for some reason such as vibration of the vehicle M, a pair of power storage devices 10 are connected. When a connection failure occurs in one of the voltage detection line VLs, the voltage detection line VL in which the connection failure occurs becomes a high impedance state.

このような状態において、電圧検出線ＶＬがノイズを受けた場合、図５の一点鎖線αに示すように、一対の接続部３６間の電圧差が大きくなってしまうことで、電流検出回路３５において検出される電流が過電流検出閾値以上となってしまい、ＣＰＵ３３が、組電池２０が過電流状態であると誤検出してしまう虞がある。仮にＣＰＵ３３が誤検出すると、電流遮断装置５１を作動させることで、組電池２０と正極側端子部１２Ｐとの間の通電が遮断され、蓄電装置１０から電力を供給することができなくなってしまう。 In such a state, when the voltage detection line VL receives noise, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line α in FIG. 5, the voltage difference between the pair of connection portions 36 becomes large, so that the current detection circuit 35 The detected current may exceed the overcurrent detection threshold value, and the CPU 33 may erroneously detect that the assembled battery 20 is in the overcurrent state. If the CPU 33 erroneously detects it, the current cutoff device 51 is operated to cut off the energization between the assembled battery 20 and the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P, and the power storage device 10 cannot supply electric power.

ところが、本実施形態によると、電流検出回路３５における一対の接続部３６間には、抵抗器からなる誤検出防止部３７が接続されているから、電圧検出線ＶＬに接続不良が生じたとしても、電流検出回路３５が誤検出防止部３７の両端の電位差を検出することで、電位差が所定値以下に抑えられ、一対の接続部３６間のインピーダンスが無制限に上昇することを抑制することができる。 However, according to the present embodiment, since the false detection prevention unit 37 made of a resistor is connected between the pair of connection portions 36 in the current detection circuit 35, even if a connection failure occurs in the voltage detection line VL. By detecting the potential difference between both ends of the erroneous detection prevention unit 37 by the current detection circuit 35, the potential difference can be suppressed to a predetermined value or less, and the impedance between the pair of connection portions 36 can be suppressed from rising indefinitely. ..

つまり、ノイズ等に起因して一対の接続部３６間の電位差が異常に大きくなることを防ぐことで、電流検出回路３５において検出される電流が、図５の実線βに示すように、所定値以下に抑えられ、電流検出回路３５が過電流であると誤検出することを防ぐことができる。これにより、電圧検出線ＶＬに接続不良が生じることに起因して組電池２０と正極側端子部１２Ｐとの間の通電が遮断されることが防がれ、蓄電装置１０から電力を供給することができなくなることを防ぐことができる。 That is, by preventing the potential difference between the pair of connecting portions 36 from becoming abnormally large due to noise or the like, the current detected by the current detection circuit 35 is a predetermined value as shown by the solid line β in FIG. It is suppressed to the following, and it is possible to prevent the current detection circuit 35 from erroneously detecting that the current is overcurrent. As a result, it is possible to prevent the energization between the assembled battery 20 and the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P from being cut off due to the connection failure of the voltage detection line VL, and to supply power from the power storage device 10. Can be prevented from becoming impossible.

以上のように、本実施形態によると、電流検出回路３５における一対の接続部３６間に、電流検出抵抗５０と比較して無視できる程に高抵抗となるような非常に高抵抗な誤検出防止部３７を接続した簡易な構成とすることで、電圧検出線ＶＬに接続不良が生じたとしても、一対の接続部３６間における電位差を所定値以下に抑えることができる。これにより、電流検出回路が過電流であると誤検出することを防ぐことができるから、電圧検出線ＶＬに接続不良が生じることに起因して蓄電装置１０から電力を供給することができなくなることを防ぐことができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the false detection prevention of extremely high resistance such that the resistance between the pair of connection portions 36 in the current detection circuit 35 is negligibly high as compared with the current detection resistance 50. By having a simple configuration in which the portions 37 are connected, the potential difference between the pair of connecting portions 36 can be suppressed to a predetermined value or less even if a connection failure occurs in the voltage detection line VL. As a result, it is possible to prevent the current detection circuit from erroneously detecting an overcurrent, so that power cannot be supplied from the power storage device 10 due to a connection failure in the voltage detection line VL. Can be prevented.

＜実施形態２＞
次に、実施形態２について図６を参照して説明する。
実施形態２の蓄電装置１１０は、実施形態１とは異なり、誤検出防止部３７の接続先を変更したものであって、実施形態１と共通する構成、作用、および効果については重複するため、その説明を省略する。また、実施形態１と同じ構成については同一の符号を用いるものとする。 <Embodiment 2>
Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The power storage device 110 of the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the connection destination of the erroneous detection prevention unit 37 is changed, and the configuration, operation, and effect common to the first embodiment are duplicated. The description will be omitted. Further, the same reference numerals are used for the same configurations as in the first embodiment.

実施形態２の蓄電装置１１０における誤検出防止部１３７は、それぞれの接続部３６と蓄電装置１１０の基準電圧ラインであるＧＮＤラインＬ３とを接続するように、各接続部３６とＧＮＤラインＬ３との間にそれぞれ設けられている。 The false detection prevention unit 137 in the power storage device 110 of the second embodiment connects each connection unit 36 and the GND line L3 so as to connect the respective connection units 36 and the GND line L3 which is the reference voltage line of the power storage device 110. Each is provided between them.

各誤検出防止部１３７は、実施形態１と同様に、電流検出抵抗５０と比較して無視できる程に高抵抗となるような非常に高抵抗な抵抗器であって、例えば、電流検出抵抗５０の千倍から百万倍程度となる数十Ω〜数百ｋΩの高抵抗な抵抗器とされている。 Similar to the first embodiment, each false detection prevention unit 137 is a resistor having a very high resistance such that the resistance is negligibly high as compared with the current detection resistance 50. For example, the current detection resistance 50 It is said to be a high-resistance resistor with a resistance of several tens of Ω to several hundreds of kΩ, which is about 1,000 to one million times that of the resistor.

すなわち、本実施形態においても、各接続部３６とＧＮＤラインＬ３との間に、電流検出抵抗５０と比較して無視できる程に高抵抗となるような非常に高抵抗な誤検出防止部３７を設けることで、電圧検出線ＶＬに接続不良が生じたとしても、電流検出回路３５によって検出する電位差が所定値以下に抑えられ、ノイズ等に起因して電流検出回路３５が過電流であると誤検出することを防ぐことができる。 That is, also in the present embodiment, there is a very high resistance false detection prevention unit 37 between each connection unit 36 and the GND line L3, which has a negligibly high resistance as compared with the current detection resistance 50. By providing the voltage detection line VL, even if a connection failure occurs, the potential difference detected by the current detection circuit 35 is suppressed to a predetermined value or less, and the current detection circuit 35 is erroneously overcurrent due to noise or the like. It can be prevented from being detected.

つまり、電圧検出線ＶＬに接続不良が生じることに起因して電流遮断装置５１が動作することが防がれ、蓄電装置１１０から電力を供給することができなくなることを防ぐことができる。 That is, it is possible to prevent the current cutoff device 51 from operating due to the connection failure of the voltage detection line VL, and to prevent the power storage device 110 from being unable to supply power.

＜他の実施形態＞
本明細書で開示される技術は上記記述及び図面によって説明した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば次のような種々の態様も含まれる。
（１）上記実施形態では、誤検出防止部３７を、車両Ｍのエンジン始動用の蓄電装置１０に適用した構成とした。しかしながら、これに限らず、誤検出防止部を、モータ駆動用の蓄電装置や２輪車両用の蓄電装置に適用してもよい。 <Other embodiments>
The techniques disclosed herein are not limited to the embodiments described above and in the drawings, and include, for example, various aspects such as:
(1) In the above embodiment, the false detection prevention unit 37 is applied to the power storage device 10 for starting the engine of the vehicle M. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the false detection prevention unit may be applied to a power storage device for driving a motor or a power storage device for a two-wheeled vehicle.

（２）上記実施形態では、誤検出防止部３７，１３７を、電流検出抵抗５０と比較して無視できる程に高抵抗となるような非常に高抵抗な抵抗器によって構成した。しかしながら、これに限らず、電流検出回路によって検出される電流が過電流検出閾値以上とならないように、一対の接続部間の電位差を抑制する電圧降下素子によって構成してもよい。 (2) In the above embodiment, the false detection prevention units 37 and 137 are configured by a resistor having a very high resistance so as to have a negligibly high resistance as compared with the current detection resistance 50. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a voltage drop element that suppresses the potential difference between the pair of connecting portions may be used so that the current detected by the current detection circuit does not exceed the overcurrent detection threshold value.

（３）蓄電装置１０においては、蓄電装置１０を保護する必要があるという理由で、過電流を検出してから電流遮断装置５１が作動するまでの時間（遅延時間）が短い。蓄電装置１０では、典型的には、外部短絡が生じた場合に過電流が流れる。外部短絡は、例えば、車両に搭載した蓄電装置１０の交換時にユーザーが、或いは車両への蓄電装置１０の組み込み時に作業者が、正極側端子部１２Ｐと負極側端子部１２Ｎとを誤って導通させた場合に生じる。外部短絡が生じる他の例として、蓄電装置１０に接続された負荷が故障して負荷が短絡した場合や、車両衝突時に正極側端子部１２Ｐが車体パネルに接触した場合が考えられる。このような外部短絡が生じた時に、即座に電流遮断装置５１を作動して通電路Ｌを遮断しないと、ＢＭＵ３０や組電池２０、更には蓄電装置１０に接続された負荷が、ダメージを受ける可能性がある。そのため、ＢＭＵ３０のＣＰＵ３３は、電流遮断装置５１により即座に通電路Ｌを遮断する。すなわち、過電流を検出してから電流遮断装置５１が作動するまでの遅延時間は極めて短く設定されている。 (3) In the power storage device 10, the time (delay time) from the detection of the overcurrent to the operation of the current cutoff device 51 is short because it is necessary to protect the power storage device 10. In the power storage device 10, an overcurrent typically flows when an external short circuit occurs. In the external short circuit, for example, the user erroneously conducts the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P and the negative electrode side terminal portion 12N when the power storage device 10 mounted on the vehicle is replaced, or when the power storage device 10 is installed in the vehicle. Occurs when As another example in which an external short circuit occurs, it is conceivable that the load connected to the power storage device 10 fails and the load is short-circuited, or the positive electrode side terminal portion 12P comes into contact with the vehicle body panel at the time of a vehicle collision. When such an external short circuit occurs, the load connected to the BMU 30, the assembled battery 20, and the power storage device 10 may be damaged unless the current cutoff device 51 is immediately operated to cut off the current-carrying path L. There is sex. Therefore, the CPU 33 of the BMU 30 immediately shuts off the energization path L by the current cutoff device 51. That is, the delay time from the detection of the overcurrent to the operation of the current cutoff device 51 is set to be extremely short.

過電流以外の、他の状態（過電圧、過温度等）を判定する場合は、ある時点でのセンサ出力がエラー値である可能性を考慮して、複数回センシングを行って異常値は無視したり、平均値を求めたり、センサや検出線の故障診断を行ったりして、ノイズやセンサ誤作動の影響を低くすることが出来る。過電流を判定する場合は、上述の理由（ＢＭＵ３０、組電池２０、蓄電装置１０に接続された負荷を保護するという理由）から、複数回センシングを行う、平均値を求める、或いは故障診断を行うような時間的な余裕が無い。
そのため、外部短絡などによって本当に過電流が流れている場合と、電圧検出線の断線や接続不良が起きて電圧検出線ＶＬにノイズが乗った場合とで、区別がつかず、断線や接続不良を、過電流と誤検出する可能性が高くなる。 When determining other states (overvoltage, overtemperature, etc.) other than overcurrent, considering the possibility that the sensor output at a certain point is an error value, perform sensing multiple times and ignore the abnormal value. It is possible to reduce the influence of noise and sensor malfunction by obtaining the average value and diagnosing the failure of the sensor and the detection line. When determining the overcurrent, for the above-mentioned reasons (the reason for protecting the load connected to the BMU 30, the assembled battery 20, and the power storage device 10), the sensing is performed multiple times, the average value is obtained, or the failure diagnosis is performed. There is no time to spare.
Therefore, it is indistinguishable between the case where an overcurrent is really flowing due to an external short circuit, etc., and the case where noise is added to the voltage detection line VL due to disconnection or connection failure of the voltage detection line. , There is a high possibility of false detection as overcurrent.

上記実施形態では、電圧検出線ＶＬに断線や接続不良が起きても、追加された抵抗器３７、１３７により、一対の接続部３６間における電位差を所定値以下に抑え、ノイズの影響を抑制できる。そのため、上記した遅延時間が短い場合でも、断線や接続不良を、過電流と誤検出する可能性が低くなる。故障診断を行わなくても、誤検出の可能性を低くできる（電流検出抵抗５０と、抵抗器３７、１３７との両方でオープン故障が発生した場合にのみ誤検出の可能性が生じる）。 In the above embodiment, even if the voltage detection line VL is broken or the connection is poor, the added resistors 37 and 137 can suppress the potential difference between the pair of connection portions 36 to a predetermined value or less and suppress the influence of noise. .. Therefore, even if the delay time described above is short, the possibility of erroneously detecting a disconnection or poor connection as an overcurrent is reduced. The possibility of erroneous detection can be reduced without performing failure diagnosis (the possibility of erroneous detection occurs only when an open failure occurs in both the current detection resistor 50 and the resistors 37 and 137).

（４）電圧検出線ＶＬの断線や接続不良を過電流と誤検出して、電流遮断装置５１が作動すると、車両負荷への電源供給がストップするため、例えば、車両の発電機が機能していない場合、パワーステアリングが効かなくなることや、ブレーキが利きにくくなる等の車両不具合の発生が懸念される。本発明の蓄電装置１０を車両に搭載することで、こうした車両不具合の発生を、抑制することが出来る。 (4) When the voltage detection line VL is erroneously detected as an overcurrent and the current cutoff device 51 is activated, the power supply to the vehicle load is stopped. Therefore, for example, the vehicle generator is functioning. If this is not the case, there is a concern that the power steering will not work and that vehicle problems such as difficulty in braking will occur. By mounting the power storage device 10 of the present invention on a vehicle, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of such vehicle malfunctions.

（５）上記実施形態では、蓄電装置１０の内部に、過電流検出装置を設けた。過電流検出装置は、蓄電装置１０を必要とする装置側に設けるようにしてもよい。例えば、蓄電装置１０を車両に搭載する場合、車両内であって、蓄電装置１０の外に、過電流検出装置を設けるようにしてもよい。具体的には、過電流検出装置は電流検出回路３５、電流検出抵抗５０、電圧検出線ＶＬ、誤検出検出部である抵抗器３７、１３７を含むことから、これら各構成要素３５、５０、ＶＬ、３７、１３７を、車両内であって、蓄電装置１０の外に配置してもよい。 (5) In the above embodiment, an overcurrent detection device is provided inside the power storage device 10. The overcurrent detection device may be provided on the side of the device that requires the power storage device 10. For example, when the power storage device 10 is mounted on a vehicle, an overcurrent detection device may be provided inside the vehicle and outside the power storage device 10. Specifically, since the overcurrent detection device includes a current detection circuit 35, a current detection resistance 50, a voltage detection line VL, and resistors 37 and 137 which are false detection detection units, these components 35, 50 and VL are included. , 37, 137 may be arranged in the vehicle and outside the power storage device 10.
